The conflict between the two boats is fairly reminiscent to the test researchers had done (as shown in "The Trap") with the secretaries who had not betrayed each other, thus disproving game theory. This also harps back on the point I made in my post, which is that humans are much more complicated than people like John Nash make them out to be, and not all of them are so self-interested.

It was an interesting reference from The Dark Knight (which I have yet not seen). I wish you could extend this beyond the remark to investigate the role of the prisoner's dilemma in popular culture. I understand the Joker's sick game is presented as a psychopathic social experiment, how does the construction of the narrative judge the prisoner's dilemma, and by presenting this moral challenge what are the (threatened) social values that the narrative is attempting to expose?
